Crate whoami[][src]

Expand description

Crate for getting the user’s username, realname and environment.

Getting Started

Using the whoami crate is super easy! All of the public items are simple functions with no parameters that return Strings or OsStrings (with the exception of desktop_env(), and platform() which return enums, and lang() that returns an iterator of Strings). The following example shows how to use all of the functions (except those that return OsString):

fn main() {
    println!(
        "User's Name            whoami::realname():    {}",
        whoami::realname()
    );
    println!(
        "User's Username        whoami::username():    {}",
        whoami::username()
    );
    println!(
        "User's Language        whoami::lang():        {:?}",
        whoami::lang().collect::<Vec<String>>()
    );
    println!(
        "Device's Pretty Name   whoami::devicename():  {}",
        whoami::devicename()
    );
    println!(
        "Device's Hostname      whoami::hostname():    {}",
        whoami::hostname()
    );
    println!(
        "Device's Platform      whoami::platform():    {}",
        whoami::platform()
    );
    println!(
        "Device's OS Distro     whoami::distro():      {}",
        whoami::distro()
    );
    println!(
        "Device's Desktop Env.  whoami::desktop_env(): {}",
        whoami::desktop_env()
    );
}
